Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) ectomycorrhiza across its areal – a review approachUnuk Nahberger, Tina (Avtor) Grebenc, Tine (Avtor) silver firectomycorrhizaliterature reviewcommunity compositionsite conditionsspecies diversityspecies richnessSilver fir is a long-living ecologically valuable and indigenous conifer species. In temperate forests it is considered as a ˝stabilization tree species˝. Currently, knowledge of silver fir ectomycorrhiza community is manly based on morphological-anatomical description of ectomycorrhizal fungi and their fruiting bodies. Only recently few studies were published in which authors identified ectomycorrhizal symbionts of silver fir with an aid of molecular (DNA-based) markers. We analysed the silver fir ectomycorrhiza diversity and species richness from different geographic areas and stand types. From all together nine original studies we calculated average species richness as well as a Bray-Curtis similarity index. The highest species diversity was observed in studies where a combination of morphological-anatomical and molecular approaches were used for identification. Bray-Curtis similarity index indicated highest dissimilarity of the southern sites comparing to other areas. We correlated the observed outcome to differences in soil conditions, climate, and only basic identification approach.20172026-01-28 13:08:06Neznano27004slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji
